<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 507914, member: 66&quot;]The Sampleslabs site is NOT mine, it is run by Cameron Kiefer former grader for ICG. The only connection I have with the site is that I got Cameron stared collecting Sample slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>John, I didn&#039;t answer earlier because&nbsp; 1) I caught your post on a fast fly through and didn&#039;t have the time to answer, and 2) I&#039;m not really sure which label colors you are talking about.&nbsp; In general NGC hasn&#039;t altered their regular production label colors that much (not like PCGS) and most of their color changes are on what I call novelty slabs with their First Strikes, Early Release, and different eagle set designation, and all the different under printed labels they have done (Binion, Nevada silver, Fitzgerald collection etc)&nbsp; I list those but I don&#039;t think much of them.&nbsp; They are just a gimmick thing.&nbsp; About the only color change I can reallyrecal on th production slabs was on the NGC 3 slab where the border on the label can be found in green or brown.&nbsp; I had to have that one pointed out to me though since because of color vision problems to me they both look the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a more up to date version of the NGC generations that I posted on the NGC forum.&nbsp; This has all the pictures except for I think two that I don&#039;t have yet, an it doesn&#039;t include the two most recent varieties with he new anti counterfeiting details and the latest edge view slab.&nbsp; The slab listings are in the first post and I think the sixth.&nbsp; Even though I asked people not to post to the thread until I could get it finished they didn&#039;t listen.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=2248404&amp;page=1#Post2248404" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=2248404&amp;page=1#Post2248404" rel="nofollow">http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=2248404&amp;page=1#Post2248404</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And from what I have been told there is another researcher now working on a book of the grading services and the varieties, and another researcher doing the same on a website.&nbsp; So the attention I have brought to the history of slabbing is spreading.&nbsp; As much as I dislike the concept of the grading services I am glad to see that this thirty years of history is finally being recognized and recorded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
